Global Conflict: The Human Impact
Conflict is inherent in all societies and has persisted for thousands of years, leaving long-lasting economic, educational and political effects. Nothing, though, is more devastating than the impact on people.
The University of Chicago’s Pearson Institute for the Study and Resolution of Global Conflicts and The Senator George J. Mitchell Institute for Global Peace, Security and Justice at Queen’s University Belfast will convene world leaders, scholars and those who are actively working on the ground in conflict zones for Global Conflict | The Human Impact. This two-day conference will examine the lessons learned from resolved conflicts, challenges presented by current conflicts, and the tremendous negative impact on individuals and families.
Coming two decades after the Good Friday Agreement, this conference offers a distinctive opportunity to assess the lessons learned from the peace agreement, as well as the daunting challenges and human toll of the world’s current refugee crisis; the largest population of displaced people since World War II.
The conference will draw upon the experiences of international leaders such as United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi, former US Senator George J. Mitchell, former US Assistant Secretary of State Anne C. Richard and Dominic MacSorley, CEO of Concern Worldwide, alongside the academic strength and excellence of two leading institutions
